3. The American Curl is a breed of cat that has curly ears. The allele for curly ears is dominant (E) and the allele for non-curly ears is recessive (e). Suppose a male cat with the heterozygous genotype is bred to a female cat with the homozygous recessive genotype. Predict the number of kittens that will have the phenotype for curly ears. In your answer: • define the word phenotype • write the genotypes for both parents; draw a Punnett square that shows a cross between the two cats (1) • write the phenotypic ratio of the offspring. If the cross produces six kittens, predict how many of them will have the curly ear

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
